Hi,
Looking for some advice. I had unprotected insertive vaginal sex with a sex worker in the UK. I’m a circumcised male and there was no visible blood or trauma.
I spoke to her 4 weeks post exposure and asked her regarding her hiv status. She said she is tested monthly, her last test being 2 weeks ago (so 2 weeks post exposure) and that she was negative. Said she had certificate and documents from the hospital. Obviously I’ve not seen this and can’t say what she said is 100% the truth.
I’ve had the following tests:
14 days post exposure - Alere HIV Combo (antibody/antigen test) (20 min result) - Negative
21 days post exposure - Alere HIV Combo (anti/antigen) (20 min result) - negative
28 days post exposure - Alere HIV Combo (anti/antigen) (20 min result) - negative
35 days post exposure - Alere HIV Combo (anti/antigen) (20 min result) - Negative
38 days post exposure - HIV DUO Lab test (antibody/antigen) (next day result) - negative
42 days post exposure - Alere HIV Combo (anti/antigen) (20 min result) - negative
The doctor said to me that since I’ve not had any obvious HIV symptoms and that all the tests that I have had are negative I can forget about hiv.
Just wondering if that’s correct advice or am I right to still be anxious?
Thanks.
